[quote=Anonymous]PP. And for all the "Montessori teaches reading at 2-3" that I see, Montessori also allows children to choose not to learn to read, too. A true Montessori school isn't going to push a child to do something they don't want to do. A bunch of kids in my neighborhood attend a Montessori school. Their reading is atrocious. I don't know if it's the teachers (excuse me, guides) or what, but even the upper elementary kids are not fluid, confident readers. One mom keeps bemoaning the fact that her first grader can barely read, and that no matter how many times she asks the teachers to give her child lessons, they keep telling her it is the child's decision and they won't do it until the child asks for it. I'm sure Montessori is great for some kids, especially those who are naturally intellectually curious and want to learn how to read and do math. It doesn't seem so great for most of my neighbor kids, for whatever reason.[/quote]
